So one of the commandments is to honor thy father and mother. Does this mean the people who gave you life here on earth, or those who raised you? I ask because I love my mom (really just because the Bible tells me to, she has never been a mother to me), but I don't respect her or have feelings about her either way, but my step-mom raised me and I love her like she gave birth to me. So I am always caught in: what does God consider a mother? The one who gives birth (because let's face it, giving birth doesn't make you a mother), or the one who nurtures, raises, and teaches His word?
